-♪ ♪ -ANNOUNCER: Coming to you from New York City,
the only city in America, it's The Daily Show.
Tonight-- pulling back the curtain on January 6,
Google gets up in its feelings,
and Ayo Edebiri.
This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah!
(cheers and applause)
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out in person. This is great.
Oh, this is gonna be great. Take a seat.
Take a seat. Ah, let's do this. Let's do this.
Let us do this. We have got a jam-packed show for you tonight.
Russia is invading McDonald's,
Google has created an A.I. with a soul,
and we're learning that on January 6,
Mike Pence was actually the president.
So let's do this, people.
Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
-(applause and cheering) -♪ ♪
Okay, let's kick things off with the war in Ukraine,
the world's most egregious case of manspreading.
Now despite the West sanctioning Russia,
despite the U.S. flooding Ukraine with weapons
and despite you buying an Ukrainian flag iPhone case,
the invasion is still somehow going on.
And the Russians aren't just gaining Ukrainian territory.
They're also recovering a bit of their old lifestyle
back home, starting with food.
Because I don't know if you remember
how McDonald's closed down all of its restaurants
to punish the Russians.
Well, now those restaurants are reopening under new management,
and the Russians are very excited.
In Russia, the Big Macs and golden arches may be gone,
but 15 shuttered McDonald's restaurants there
just reopened under new branding and ownership.
NEWSMAN: So, Russia now has its own version of McDonald's.
It comes under a different name here.
It's called... (speaking Russian),
which essentially means, "Tasty and That's It."
Also a different logo.
You can see it right there.
Other than that, a lot of things
are actually very similar to McDonald's.
However, there is no Big Mac,
and there also is no Happy Meal, either.
As you can see, the Russian Version
of McDonald's looks a lot like McDonald's.
You have the, uh, double cheeseburger here, fries,
and this is a nine-piece not McNuggets.
It's nuggets. And some sort of soft drink.
And if you look carefully, you can see
the sauces even seem to have the McDonald's logo blacked out.
(laughter)
Wait. What? They just blacked it out?
And you're like, "Oh, I wonder what this one is, huh?"
But, yeah, that's right.
The Russians have taken over McDonald's in Russia,
and they've given it a whole new name.
And except for the branding, I mean,
these restaurants are exactly like McDonald's.
The sauces, the burgers, the nuggets.
They even broke the ice cream machine
to give you that authentic feeling of disappointment.
You know? That's what they did.
Now they don't have branded items like Big Macs
or McNuggets, but they do still have Grimace. Yeah.
No, not the character, just the face
that Russians make all the time.
And I'll be honest. I feel like they could have come up
with a better name than "Tasty and That's It."
It almost sounds like they're hiding something.
(Russian accent): "It's tasty, and that's it.
Stop asking questions."
Like, what kind of a name is that for a restaurant?
Tasty and That's It.
It almost sounds like a mistake, you know?
Like, they called the guy who was making the signs,
and they were like, "Yeah, it's called 'Tasty,' and that's it."
And the dude just wrote everything they said.
Yeah, they're lucky the name isn't "Tasty and That's It.
Let Me know When You're Ready for the Credit Card Number."
And you know what's crazy about the story is, like,
it shows you how powerful corporations have become
in the world. Like, think about it--
Russia has no problem breaking international law,
committing war crimes and defying the United Nations.
But they draw the line at violating licensing rights?
That's where they won't go too far? They're like,
(Russian accent): "Comrade, you don't want to mess
"with Ronald Clown. Very dangerous.
"I heard one time he took enemy into ball pit,
"was never seen again, eh? Yeah.
"♪ Ba-da-ba, ba, ba ♪ He was not loving it,
not loving it."
(regular accent): But let's move on...
from the Russian takeover of Ukraine
to the technology that could take over the entire world.
I'm talking about artificial intelligence.
It's the thing scientists are working on
so one day our computers won't just know
what kind of porn we want to watch,
they'll also be able to judge us for it.
And A.I. has come a long way in the past few years,
but now an engineer at Google is saying that A.I.
has come a lot further than we think.
NEWSWOMAN: An engineer with Google says the company's
artificial intelligence generator is self-aware.
NEWSWOMAN 2: Blake Lemoine told the company that he thinks
its A.I. chatbot is a person
who has rights and might have a soul.
NEWSWOMAN 3: The software engineer who made the claim
was put on leave for violating
Google's confidentiality policy after handing documents
to a U.S. senator's office.
Despite the claim the program is conscious,
Google says the technology still has a long way to go.
Tech experts say the A.I. can imitate intelligence
by recreating patterns, but still can't think or act
on its own, apart from its programming.
Okay, I don't work at Google
and I'm not a computer scientist.
But I have watched a lot of movies.
And if there's one thing I've learned from movies,
it's that if a scientist comes out saying that something crazy
is happening back in the lab and then they get fired for it...
there's something crazy happening back in the lab.
Because, yeah, apparently Google has an A.I.
that can hold a conversation that is impossible
to distinguish from a human. Yeah.
Although, to be honest, I'm not sure that
responding to questions is really the best way
to tell if A.I. has become a real person.
Like, you know when I'll be convinced
is when it stops responding for weeks
and then only gets back in touch with you
when it needs a favor. Yeah.
Then I'll know it's human.
It has learned.
And honestly, I'm not sure who to side with in this debate.
Because on the one hand you have the engineer
who says that the computer has a soul, which definitely
makes me think he's already had sex with it.
On the other hand, the company says he's wrong.
All I know is we have to be careful
when we're creating these things, people.
'Cause we're basically playing God here,
and even God made a few mistakes. Yeah.
I mean, you have seen a sloth?
What are they doing with these long-ass sharp claws?
What are they using them for? They're so cute and they're slow
and then you gave them Freddy Krueger hands.
I can tell you, that day God was texting on his phone
when he was doing that. "Yeah, well-- Aah!"
And here's my question. If Google does have this
A.I. technology, why is it still using the crappy version
for all of its suggested responses in Gmail?
You guys know what I'm talking about, right?
Every option on your email is like,
"Sounds good. Thanks for letting me know."
Doesn't matter what the email is.
I could get an email from my doctor
telling me that my intestines are growing teeth,
and Gmail's suggested response would be like,
"Okay, thanks. Let's plan that for next week."
I don't know, man.
I just think, you know, we-we need to be careful
with scientists these days. Like, we didn't listen
when the COVID scientists warned us.
I'm not gonna make that mistake again.
From now on, I'm treating all of my gadgets
with love and respect.
I'll start right now. Hey, Siri?
SIRI: How can I help you, Trevor?
No, Siri, how can I help you?
(laughter and applause)
All right, finally, you may not know this
if you've lived here your whole life,
but America has a reputation around the world
for being a place where anyone can sue anyone
for anything.
And sometimes stereotypes are a little bit exaggerated.
You know? It's like how people think in Africa,
we have elephants just walking through the streets,
which is ridiculous, all right?
We have one elephant in the street.
His name is Henry, and he's the mayor of the town,
right? So he can walk wherever he likes.
Anyway, the point is the stereotype
about lawsuits in America?
Well, it turns out that one happens to be true.
Insurance company GEICO may have to pay a Missouri woman
more than $5 million.
The reason for the hefty payout?
Well, she says she caught HPV
after being intimate in the car
with a then boyfriend, who's insured by GEICO.
NEWSMAN: The woman argued her man's car insurance policy
covers her injuries and losses.
GEICO turned down the original claim,
so she went to an arbitrator and then a court.
Both sided with her.
Hmm.
(laughter)
This is a, uh, a common legal occurrence
known as "what the (bleep)?"
(laughter and applause)
Did you hear what they just said?
A woman has been awarded $5 million from GEICO
because she got HPV
from sex in her boyfriend's car,
and the car was insured by GEICO.
(laughter)
I mean, I feel like if anything bad
is gonna happen to you, you need to make sure
that it happens in a car from now on, you know?
Yeah, it could be at the beach. Like, "Oh, no!
"There's a shark in the water!
"It's attacking! It's gonna eat my legs!
"No, shark!
"Actually, hey, shark, could we do this in my car?
I, uh... I'm trying to get paid. Yeah."
I mean, don't get me wrong. I feel bad for the woman, too.
You know? 'Cause not only did she get HPV
in a GEICO car.
The sex was over in 15 minutes or less.
(laughter and applause)
Also, I feel bad for everyone else out there
who also has HPV
but doesn't have $5 million.
Seriously, $5 million?
How did they even assess those damages?
Huh? Did she have a mechanic look under the hood just like,
"Yep, that pussy's totaled.
"Yep, it's gone.
Totally done."
Now, apparently, apparently,
GEICO is gonna fight this ruling.
They say they're not gonna pay. They don't want to pay.
I don't know. I think this seems like great PR
for how much their insurance actually covers.
In fact,
they need to work this into their ads.
GEICO can get you some great savings
on car insurance.
And then you can raw dog all you want.
Front seat, back seat.
Get that interior stickier
than my famously sticky feet.
I'd buy that insurance.
I would buy it.
All right, that's it for the headlines.
But before we go to a break,
let's check in on the stock market,
which has been crazy,
with our finance expert, Michael Kosta, everybody.
-(cheering and applause) -Thank you.
-Uh, Michael? -Yeah.
It is wild. My friend,
what is happening in the market today?
Well, Trevor, I am crushing it, okay?
-I am crushing the market. -You always say...
Yeah. C-R...
U-S-S-N-G-H.
Crushing it, okay? And I got a hot tip.
If you want to make money in this market,
I got a hot tip for you
and for you at home and for you in the audience.
-Okay? So pay attention. So, let's break it down. -Okay.
Actually-actually, before we do that though, the, um...
-the, uh... that HPV story. -Yeah.
-That woman-- $5 million. -Crazy, right?
I mean, that-that's wonderful.
That's really gonna help that next-day,
awkward post-sex phone call you got to make, you know?
It's like, "Hey, I'm obligated to tell you two things.
"One, you have HPV now.
"Two, we're gonna be (bleep)ing rich, you know?
You know what I'm saying?"
But let's be honest. She has HPV.
-Yes. -She has HPV.
Highly Paid Vagina.
And I know... I know what you're thinking.
How much is that car worth based on that settlement?
I don't know. Let me check its Kelley Blue Ball value.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah?
-Let me get to the-- let me get to the markets? -Yeah, let's get
-to the markets. -Get to the markets. Okay, so...
markets have been down, okay?
Markets have been down.
And this is a bear market.
Now, what does that mean? It means it's getting hairy, okay?
And that's what I learned this weekend during Pride, okay?
So, there are some people that are into bear markets,
and this is a good time for them. Now...
Bitcoin is crashing.
Nobody seems to be talking about it.
And you know that when Bitcoin people aren't talking
about Bitcoin, it's bad, all right?
Who would have imagined that an imaginary economic system
based on an imaginary currency
where you use an imaginary wallet
to buy an imaginary piece of art
of an imaginary monkey playing a drum would crash?
-I don't know. Look. Yeah. -(cheering)
Now...
It's digital. This is digital.
So as soon as I saw it was crashing,
I just unplugged the computer.
-Uh, Kosta, I... -Yeah.
I-I don't think that's how it works.
Well, that's why you're not the financial expert.
Do you understand?
There's a reason I'm standing in front of the chart.
Now, let's break down this chart.
-Okay. -There's a few things that we have to decipher here.
Okay, first one-- these numbers here,
people are mistaking these numbers as the date. Incorrect.
This is the minimum height you need to be
to invest in said currency.
Six-eight, six-nine, six-ten.
Why does it drop here?
Because six-12's not a real height, Trevor, okay?
And it really falls at six-13.
The market has to respond to this ridiculous not-real height.
-Now... -(chuckles)
I'm an expert, ladies and gentlemen, okay?
Now, these dips--
Michael Kosta, financial expert--
when you see these dips,
buy the dip, okay?
Buy the dip.
Blue cheese, hummus,
sour cream, okay?
You just lost a lot of money, all right?
And you need to stay home and have some comfort food
and think about your financial future.
Okay.
-Hot tip to make some money. -Yeah.
In a market like this, in order to make money,
what you need to do is get out of the market
and try to get HPV in a car
insured by Geico.
-You'll be happy you did. -(cheering and applause)
-Yeah. Yeah. -That's some, uh, pretty sound advice.
Michael Kosta, everybody. Thank you so much for that.
All right, don't go away. 'Cause when we come back,
we'll find out why Donald Trump isn't still the president.
You don't want to miss it.
(cheering and applause)
(applause and cheering)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
Over the past few days,
Washington, D.C. has been buzzing.
And not just because of Joe Biden's new extensions,
although they do look fly.
No, I'm talking about the January 6 hearings,
which have now officially kicked off.
So, let's catch up on all the latest news.
♪ ♪
(applause)
You know, different people have different ideas
about what happened on January 6.
You know, for many people, it was the day
right-wing fanatics attacked America's democracy.
For Trump supporters, it was a field trip
where they get to meet their friends from the Internet.
But now, the committee says that it can prove
that January 6 wasn't just a spontaneous riot
by an angry mob.
It was the climax of a long, coordinated plot
by Donald Trump, which-- I don't know about you--
for me, is shocking.
No, because I didn't think
Trump could coordinate anything in advance.
The man can't even plan where a sentence should end.
Like, I didn't think that would happen.
-(applause) -But according to the committee,
Trump planned to overthrow the election
because he knew that he had lost.
And the reason that we know he knew that he had lost
is because now everyone around him is spilling the beans.
NEWSMAN: The committee relied on some of those closest
to Donald Trump to make its case.
His once-loyal attorney general who told investigators
Trump's claims of a stolen election were bunk.
I told him that the stuff
that his people were shoveling out
to the public were bull... was bullshit.
I mean, that the claims of fraud were bullshit.
I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff,
he has, you know, lost contact with, uh, with, uh...
He has become detached from reality.
NEWSMAN: And the president's own daughter and senior advisor.
I respect Attorney General Barr, um,
so I... accepted what he said... was saying.
NEWSMAN: Hours after the hearing,
Trump put out a statement saying his daughter,
"Had long since checked out," and was
"only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr."
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm sorry.
Ivanka checked out?
When was she checked in?
Because for four years, it just looked like
she was just walking around trying to find her desk.
When was she checked in? Checked out of what?
This is like if Machine Gun Kelly said he was no longer
pursuing a PhD in nuclear physics. Uh, when was that
even happening? Was that a thing?
But, yeah...
Trump's inner circle was well aware
that the election did not go their way.
And they told Trump.
Except for one person, who had the liquid courage
to say that Trump did win.
President Trump rejected the advice
of his campaign experts on election night,
and instead followed the course recommended by an apparently
inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just claim he won
and insist that the vote counting stop.
Was there anyone in that conversation who,
in your observation, had... had had too much to drink?
MILLER: Uh, like, Mayor Giuliani.
The mayor was definitely intoxicated.
Yeah, according to this former Trump aide, Rudy Giuliani
was wasted on election night when he told Trump
that the election was stolen from him.
And-and I-I'm just curious about how you even know
when Rudy Giuliani is drunk.
No, because when a normal person is drunk,
they say crazy things, they yell, they sweat a lot.
So how does that work with Rudy? Does it work in reverse?
Like, does he start talking normally, his hair dye
sucks back into his hair? How does this work?
And, you know, it actually says a lot about Trump
that a whole team of sober advisors--
his attorney general, his campaign manager,
his-his daughter, who he wants to bang,
yeah, we haven't forgotten--
they were all telling him "You lost this election, sir."
But then Trump was like, "Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Drunk vampire, what do you think?"
You know, when you think about it, it actually
makes sense that Trump would listen a drunk person,
because that's the one time people probably sound like him.
You know? He's just like, "What do you guys think we should do?"
And it's just like, "I'll tell you what I think we should do."
"Wow! There's something about this guy.
He totally gets it."
"You get it." "I get it.
"You get--" "I-- You-- We get it."
So the January 6th committee says that Trump started plotting
months before the actual event-- months before.
And their proof that he got what he wanted
is that he didn't try to stop the riot once it started.
No, he didn't get on the phone with the Defense Department
or call in the National Guard. It turns out it was actually
Mike Pence who did that. Yeah.
Mike Pence was basically the president for a few hours.
Which is why we have that law now,
banning water for being too spicy.
And it would have been bad enough
if Trump did nothing, but instead,
he actively riled up the crowd even more.
NEWSMAN: In one piece of never-before-seen video
of the attack, a rioter is shown reading Trump's tweet
criticizing his vice president
even as the Capitol was breached
and how it turned the crowd against Mike Pence.
MAN: "Mike Pence didn't have the courage
"to do what should have been done
to protect our country and our constitution..."
Yeah. Not only did Trump not try to stop the riot,
but while it was happening,
he was tweeting out statements that were riling up the mob.
Which is not something you expect from a president.
You know? That's something you expect
from a guy on the edge of a Waffle House fight.
Like, "Yeah, that's right! He stole your fries!
"You should beat his ass, burn the whole store down!
"Yeah, I'll-I'll take your order in a second.
I'm just trying to get this fight going! Come on!"
(laughter)
Was wild that that guy was reading the tweet.
Just standing there in the insurrection,
he's like, "Here's a message from Trump right now."
You know what would have been funny, though,
is if that wasn't the only Trump tweet
that guy read to the crowd to get them going.
MAN: "Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart.
She cheated on him like a dog and will do it again."
"Sorry, losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest,
and you all know it."
"Sorry, folks, I'm just not a fan of sharks.
"And don't worry, they will be around
long after we are gone."
Yeah. Those rioters killed every shark that day.
So, the hearings showed
Trump's team told him that he lost,
he didn't do anything to stop the riot,
and he actively added fuel to the fire
while the Capitol Building was being swarmed.
But today, they released
one of the most damning pieces of evidence
proving Trump knew
his election fraud claims were fake,
which is that when he asked his supporters to donate money
so that he could fight the "fraud" in court,
he just took the money and ran.
Listen to what one of their senior investigators,
Amanda Wick, said about what they discovered
about the way Trump and his associates raised money.
The claims that the election was stolen
were so successful,
President Trump and his allies raised $250 million,
nearly $100 million
in the first week after the election.
On November 9, 2020,
President Trump created a separate entity
called the Save America PAC.
Most of the money raised went to this newly created PAC,
not to election-related litigation.
A-And what's important about this, Victor--
it's not just that they were peddling the big lie
through these emails' fundraising solicitations,
they also weren't using that money
for the purpose o-of trying to truly find election fraud
or fight these court battles.
That's evidence of fraud.
The next question is, does the Department of Justice
do anything with it?
Wait, what?
Donald Trump conned his supporters?
That is so predictable.
How are you shocked by this?
I mean, the man is consistent, if nothing else.
Honestly, if you got tricked by Trump scamming you.
maybe your money deserves a better home.
Yeah. And, yes, I'm victim blaming.
I don't care.
I will say, what impressed me about this whole thing
was how fast it was this time.
The second the election ended,
Trump didn't wait around.
He knew it was over
and then he just went full-on Nigerian prince.
Yeah, just jumped in.
Like, his whole scam sounded like it was an email.
He's just like, "Hello, my friend.
"I am the president of a very powerful country.
"Sadly, I am in need of money to save my people.
"Donate today
"and your money will be used for the great fight
"and definitely not so I can go to dinner with Kid Rock, eh?
"Send the money, please.
"Send it now.
All of the money."
(applause)
So that's what we've learned
from the January 6 committee hearing so far.
But there is plenty more to come.
And we will keep you updated on all of the news
from this investigation.
Yeah, from now up until the moment
that Donald J. Trump is put behind bars.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. (chuckles)
You know that dude's gonna be president again.
This is America. All right, stay tuned,
'cause we're gonna be joined by Ayo Edebiri
right after the break. Don't go away.
(cheering and applause)
(applause and cheering)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
My guest tonight is actor, writer and comedian Ayo Edebiri.
She's here to talk about starring
in the new FX show The Bear.
-Hi. Hello. -MAN: Hi.
I'm Sydney.
I called about the sous position. I'm staging today.
-Right. Shit. Sorry. -Think you I could stage today.
-Yes. Yeah. Carmy. Um, hey. -Hey.
-Give your, um... Thank you. -Ah, yes.
Alinea, Smoque, Avec. That's some serious heat.
What's, uh...? What's UPS?
That's in Chicago, or...?
-Uh, United Parcel Service. -Shit.
-The one, the mail. Yeah. -That's the UPS. Yeah.
Um, what do you... what did you do for them?
Drove. Paid my way through culinary school, so...
Please welcome Ayo Edebiri.
(applause and cheering)
-Welcome to the show. -Thank you.
-Welcome to the show, Ayo. -Thank you for having me.
Thank you for being here. I feel like
you shouldn't have time to be here
with all of the work that you're doing.
I mean, we just saw a new show of yours that's gonna be,
you know, coming out on FX, and then...
Like, just take me through everything else
that you're doing right now. So you're acting in this show.
-Yeah. -And then, you write, as well.
-Yes. Yeah. -And then, you're a standup comedian.
-Yes. -Yeah, and then,
on top of that, I feel like there's two other things
I'm forgetting that you're doing.
-Um, Big Mouth maybe? -Oh, Big Mouth, yeah.
-And trying to get sleep, I think. -(laughter)
How is that going?
Um, I could call my parents more. That, too, yeah.
You know, all the things I should be doing, yeah.
-Well, congratulations. -Thank-Thanks.
It really has been just like a-a wild ride for you.
You know, slingshot.
And the beginning of your journey is one
that intrigues me the most
because I read things about people.
I do the research, and then, sometimes, it doesn't seem true.
-Yeah. -Were you studying to teach?
Yeah, I was studying to be a teacher.
-Um, I wanted to be an English teacher. -Okay.
-And then I did my student teaching, um, -Uh-huh.
and did you know that teenagers are really scary?
And they will tell you when
you're not a good English teacher.
-Wow. -Um, and so I was like,
"Hmm, maybe change careers?" Um...
Yeah, but I was doing stand-up and stuff at night
and all my friends were studying writing
and felt like people were doing this, I don't know.
This-- And I, I don't know, I just was like,
"I've got one life, might as well try,
-see if it works." -I love the fact that the kids were
so terrible you just changed your perspective on life.
They just shifted you in a new direction.
It was, like, the opposite of any of those, like,
movies where, like, a teacher is, like, you know,
coming in the classroom and standing on the desk.
-Yes. -Like, I stood on the desk and they were like, "Sit down.
-Leave. Go home. Journal." -Did you tell them you--
Did you tell them you were going?
Um, n-no. No.
I think if I told, uh, 13-year-olds my dreams,
I don't really think that
would have gone great, you know?
-Oh, my... -They might have had notes.
They-they are, I mean, like, the reason
behind all of your success, though. I feel like
you should thank them now, because they sent you
-into a very successful career, you know? -Yeah.
Like doing everyth-- And you're, like, crushing it at everything.
-It's almost like-- -To, uh, to all the teenagers
who made me sad:
good job. Thanks.
-Um, so let's talk about the show on FX. -Yeah.
It's-it's-- is it-is it a comedy?
'Cause there are moments where I feel like it's a drama.
Then there's moments where I find myself laughing out loud.
-I guess dramedy, yes? -I--
-Yes? -Write-write that down,
-I'm gonna, yeah, I've patented it. -Copyright it,
make-make your money. Uh, yeah, I think it is kind of
in that dramedy space. It's, uh, it's definitely,
I-- it's-- I mean, I-- I identify as a comedian.
I don't know if other people identify me as that,
but I identify as a comedian. And it was--
it felt very funny, uh,
to, like, be showing up to work
and being like, "Oh, okay, I'm the most serious person,
I'm saying, like, the least funny stuff."
-That's hilarious. -Uh, I'm-I'm, like, actually acting, I think.
-Or I'm trying to. -I think it is. I think it is good.
It's funny. It's heartfelt. I mean, 'cause it's a story
about, like, really...
It seems like a ragtag restaurant,
-you know, that's being... -Yes. It's a deeply motley crew.
-Yes. Yes. -Yes. Yes.
And around... The food looks g... Is it real food?
It's real food. We were cooking real food.
We were working in, uh, a real kitchen.
Our-our set designers and our production designers
are geniuses, and they, uh, created a real kitchen
that felt really small
like a real kitchen in a working restaurant would.
Uh, but they created just, like, a little space,
enough space for a camera to be able to move through
-and not break stuff. -I like that. It has...
-It has the feeling of, like, you know... -The fire was real.
-Water was real. Knives were real. -Wait. What-what was real?
-You said the fire was real? -Fire? Yeah.
-Doesn't seem safe. -Well...
I mean, hey.
O-Oops.
(laughter)
The, um, you know, the story's really great
because it's-it's... it feels like it's a commentary
on the family we have versus the family we choose.
-Yeah. -You know, we see your character's journey.
We see everyone starting to-to fall for each other
and be in that world.
It made me wonder
where you feel your biggest family is.
Like, in what industry. 'Cause some people...
-Ooh. -Let's say they're on Broadway and they act on TV.
They'll go like, "Oh, but the Broad... My Broadway family."
-Yeah. -You're in so many different worlds.
I want to know, is there, like, one world
where you feel like, "I'm at home. This is me"?
What if I was like, "Trevor, with you"?
-Uh... First time in. (laughs) -(cheering and applause)
I would...
-I would say, "Thank you. Thank you." -Thank you.
"And that's very creepy 'cause we just met."
-Yeah. -That's what I would say.
-But I would be flattered. I-I would be flattered. -Well...
Uh, no, I feel... I feel really lucky, um,
to, uh, be embraced
and feel like I get to learn in so many spaces.
And I feel like I have a lot of curiosity,
and I want to do a lot of things and do them well.
And I feel like the places that I've been able to work
and the people that I've been able to work with,
like, a lot of them are just really great mentors
and friends. And so I feel like,
in a lot of spaces, in writing and in stand-up,
uh, and I guess now in acting,
like, I-I have people who I...
That's so deeply earnest.
The stand-up in me is like, "Ugh!"
But... (laughs) I-I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of...
I think it's good. I think it's good to be earnest.
I feel like y-you should be proud of what you've done.
You know, it's not an easy journey.
Are your parents proud?
The-- My parents are backstage,
so I hope that they're proud.
-(laughs) They're t... -It would be weird if they told you now.
They're backstage tapping their toes. They're like,
-"Ooh, we got notes. Yeah. -(laughs)
This is weird."
Wh-Where-- So where-where are your parents from?
-Uh, my mom is from Barbados. -Okay.
And my dad is from where you just did that accent from.
He's from Nigeria, and--
No, he was backstage and he was watching and he was like,
-"Heh. Eh-heh." -(laughs)
-I'll take that. -Yeah.
-I'll take that from a Nigerian dad! -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a standing ovation from a Nigerian dad.
-You got a "eh-heh"! -"Eh-heh."
-"Eh-heh. Eh-heh." -"Eh-heh."
I'll take that. I'll take the "eh-heh."
Uh, Ayo, it's-it's been great meeting you.
Uh, you know, congratulations on everything you're doing.
-Yes. -I think, I think-- it's not just you who identifies--
everyone who sees you goes, "You're a comedian.
You're funny. You're amazing."
-Thank you for being on the show. -Thanks for having me.
-I felt at home with you out here. -(laughs)
-Thank you so much for being here with me. -Thank you.
I appreciate it. All right, all episodes of FX's The Bear
will be streaming exclusively on Hulu June 23.
We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back
after this. Thank you.

If you're struggling to cut back on the Coca-Cola,
all the pop, the geniuses at TikTok,
well, they have yet another hack for you to try.
They're calling it the healthy Coke.
All you got to do is pour a splash of balsamic vinaigrette

There you go. There's your coke, Greg.
Cheers.
